Lambton

On 25 March 1826, the New Zealand Company ships Rosanna and Lambton arrived at Stewart Island under the command of Captain James Herd. They were there to trade for produce, and to overhaul their spars and planking, which they did so onshore with forges and saw-pits. While there they were among the company of a party of sealers which had been left by the ship Elizabeth and Mary.
